The HP VISUALIZE UNIX® Workstation systems have an idle system memory latency roughly 40% better than that of the HP PA-8200 products, as well as a memory bandwidth two times that of the HP PA-8200 products. The peak memory bandhwidth of the PA-8200 products was 960MB/s;...

DIMM loaded in the system, in contrast to the HP PA-8200 memory subsystem that requires a minimum of 2 DIMMs loaded in the system. This allows the HP VISUALIZE UNIX® Workstation systems to reach maximum memory bandwidth with just 1 DIMM in the system, allowing customers to buy a minimum of memory and still achieve maximum memory bandwidth.

HP VISUALIZE UNIX® Workstation systems will reorder the reads to allow the read to the open page to execute first, or to be issued “out of order.” The HP PA-8200 systems did not use out of order read returns. As explained in the open page discussion above, this improves the busy system memory latency of the HP VISUALIZE UNIX®...

Application Performance Data Below you will find performance charts comparing HP VISUALIZE UNIX® Workstation systems to HP PA-8200 systems and to Sun’ s Ultrasparc60 systems. Performance gains in both EDA and MDA applications are shown. In the EDA applications, Verilog and QuickHDL are two memory intensive applications.
